What this is
Celebrating five years of the TV anime 'Kageki Shojo!!' — a series about a prestigious all-female musical theatre academy — this pop-up shop fills MEDICOS SHOP Shinjuku with anniversary merchandise featuring scenes from the show. New goods go on sale across the 11-day run, and every ¥1,000 spent earns a randomly selected bonus mini card from seven designs. Opening day (August 20) uses a lottery admission system: numbered tickets are handed out in a 10-minute window from 11:00 AM, with entry order announced via the official X account around 11:30 AM.
Who should go
Dedicated fans of the Kageki Shojo!! anime who want anniversary-exclusive merchandise. Casual anime shoppers browsing Shinjuku may find it worth a look, but the purchase limits and lottery system are clearly designed for committed collectors.
Good to know
This is a retail pop-up, so there is no ticket to buy in advance — just show up, though opening day requires joining the numbered ticket queue. MEDICOS SHOP is located on the 6th floor of Shinjuku Marui Annex, a department store building easily accessible from Shinjuku Station's East Exit. Payment at most Marui-affiliated shops accepts major credit cards including foreign Visa and Mastercard, though having some cash on hand is advisable for smaller purchases. The bonus mini cards are random and non-selectable, so repeat purchases are common among collectors — bear in mind the per-transaction limits. The shop is indoors and air-conditioned, making it a comfortable stop during Tokyo's August heat.
